Leviticus 25:35-46 - Kindness For Poor Brothers

³⁵ If an Israelite becomes poor and cannot support himself, you should help him. He must live with you as a stranger without a permanent home. ³⁶ Do not collect interest or make any profit from him. Respect your God by respecting other Israelites' lives. ³⁷ Do not collect any interest on your money or on the food you give them. ³⁸ I am Jehovah your God. I brought you out of Egypt to give you Canaan and to be your God.

³⁹ If an Israelite becomes poor and sells himself to you, do not work him like a slave. ⁴⁰ He will be like a hired worker or a visitor to you. He may work with you until the year of jubilee. ⁴¹ Then you will release him and his children to go back to their family and the property of their ancestors. ⁴² They are my servants. I brought them out of Egypt. They must never be sold as slaves. ⁴³ Do not treat them harshly. Respect your God. ⁴⁴ You may have male and female slaves, but buy them from the nations around you. ⁴⁵ You may also buy the children of the foreigners who are living among you. Such children born in your land may become your property. ⁴⁶ You may leave them as an inheritance to your children, whom they must serve as long as they live. But you must not treat any Israelites harshly.
